Our Purpose

to call attention to climate change after forming in conjunction with the April 2007 StepItUp national action FCAT’s goals are to: * Support the implementation of the 2005 Climate Protection Action Plan for Falmouth. * Partner with the Town of Falmouth Energy and Solid Waste Committees, residents and members of private and nonprofit sectors to reduce the carbon footprint.

Summary of Projects

FCAT received a grant in 2011 to educate and expand participation in activities for the "Greening of Falmouth" through improving organic land care policy, optimizing resource management options and strategies to reduce waste volumes and disposal costs, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, stimulate business development and job creation, and improve environmental quality in Falmouth. Funds were used to support community outreach efforts in the zero waste campaign.
